Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"There's nothing unusual about it," Ying muttered to herself, but seeing Su Bai turning his head away to avoid making her laugh, Ying was filled with puzzlement.

After listening to Ying's account, even though Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun knew the truth, she still pretended to be angry, and the surrounding wind elements became much more active.

"Hmph, what a fine Liyue Seven Stars! They actually think of suppressing such a major event as the Emperor's murder? It seems they really don't take us immortals seriously."

"It seems I need to make a trip to Liyue Harbor. I'd like to see what the Liyue Seven Stars are really up to."

"Oh, Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, Boss Xiao asked you to go to him for a meeting. Why don't you go to Wangshu Inn first?"

Su Bai tentatively asked a question, mainly because Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was probably too ashamed to face the other immortals in her current state. Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun originally wanted to agree immediately, but she hesitated when she thought about her current appearance. If the Emperor was also at Wangshu Inn, wouldn't seeing her like this leave a bad impression?

For a moment, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's thoughts were somewhat confused. After all, the Emperor was free, and it was perfectly reasonable for him to appear anywhere in Liyue and wander around at any time.

Moreover, that neglectful Wind God is also in Liyue recently. With that Wind God around, the Emperor's movements have become even more unpredictable. Several times, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun tried to create some chance encounters, but they were all ruined by that Wind God.

If Venti knew about Liuyun Borrowing Wind's idea, he would definitely laugh out loud. After wandering around Liyue a few times, he no longer had the desire to travel around. Besides, he could drink fine wine and didn't have to pay for Mora while wandering around Liyue Harbor with Zhongli. With such a good deal, he didn't want to go out.

However, after being persuaded by Su Bai, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun reluctantly agreed to go to Wangshu Inn to find Xiao. After all, this was something that the immortals had discussed together beforehand, and even if Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun didn't want to go, he had no choice but to go.

"Oh, right, Xiao Su Bai."

"I see that you went to see the Dragon King Ruoduo before. If you see the Dragon King Ruoduo again, be sure to tell me her whereabouts. It will be of great use to me."

As if remembering something, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun straightened his face and spoke to Su Bai with a serious expression. Although Su Bai did not know what Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun wanted to see Ruo Tuo, he thought it might be related to the love and hatred between the two thousands of years ago, so he did not want to get involved and nodded in agreement.

“Very good, Shen He. You should stay here in Jueyun and cultivate quietly. It’s not too late for you to go out and travel after I return.”

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun cherished her disciple dearly. Out of concern for Shen He's safety, she did not want Shen He to get involved in this mess. Although Shen He was curious, he still nodded in agreement. Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun nodded in satisfaction, and then disappeared from everyone's sight with a flap of her wings.

Watching the departing Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to coax the three old men to Wangshu Inn. With Xiao Laoda's prestige and strength, he should be able to keep these three old men in check.

"Ah~ it's finally over, Su Bai. Can we go to Liyue Harbor for some good food now?"

"Now is not the time; there is something more important to deal with before that."

"Huh? Something important? But Paimon is so hungry."

Paimon tilted her head. She really couldn't understand what could be more important than eating. She hadn't eaten anything all day and her stomach was about to burst.

Glug glug~

"Huh? What's that sound?"

A sound came from behind. Paimon looked around, but there was nothing strange about it. Ying, her face slightly flushed, clutched her stomach. Having not eaten much, her stomach had been protesting after a long day's journey.

Previously, because she had a mission to complete and the immortals had a strong aura, Ying hadn't paid much attention to her stomach's protests. Now that she's relaxed, her stomach immediately started to rebel.

"Oh, Ying, you're hungry. I'm hungry too. Do you have any food?"

Paimon's eyes lit up when she saw Ying clutching her stomach. Hehe, it seems that not only was she hungry, but Ying was hungry too. Then she had a reason to ask Ying to cook something delicious for her.

Hearing Ying's stomach rumble, Su Bai touched his own stomach. He didn't seem to have eaten much today, but he didn't feel that hungry because he was an immortal.

"How about we grab something to eat here before heading back to Liyue Harbor? I have some pork and pigeon left; let's make a simple barbecue."

Su Bai took out some ingredients and handed them to Ying. Among the people present, Ying was probably the only one who had learned cooking skills, so Su Bai felt at ease entrusting the ingredients to Ying.

Watching Ying's movements, Shen He's eyes flashed with a strange light. He then carefully observed Ying's actions, sometimes frowning and deep in thought, as if he didn't quite understand.

Su Bai sat on a pile of gravel. He didn't help Ying with her work; he needed to think. He pieced together the whole story, and although his intuition told him that there must be some secret hidden in it, he still couldn't find anything unusual after going through the whole thing.

"Something's not right. There's definitely something wrong with this."

"But what exactly is wrong? Everything seems so normal."

"Wait, normal? Yes, this is all too normal, like... like a play that's been rehearsed in advance, as if it were all within someone's expectations."

Upon hearing this conjecture, Su Bai's hair stood on end. However, he quickly dismissed the idea. If the Emperor's murder could be used against him, then his little tricks would be nothing more than showing off his limited skills before an expert.

"Perhaps, I will find some answers in the Emperor's immortal body."

Chapter 141 Preparations Before Visiting Ningguang

"Hiccup~ Ying, I didn't expect your cooking skills to have improved. This sweet flower-stuffed chicken is really delicious."

Paimon wiped the grease from his mouth with his sleeve, smacked his lips a few times with relish, and was surprised that Ying's cooking skills had improved so much after watching Xiangling cook a few times. Should he let Ying work at Wanmintang next time? Maybe Ying's skills would improve even more if he thought that way. Paimon fell into deep thought for a moment.

Su Bai casually broke off a twig and picked his teeth. Ying's cooking skills had indeed improved a lot. Even Shen He, who had been training hard, had eaten a lot of Sweet Flower Chicken. This was enough to prove how delicious Ying's Sweet Flower Chicken was.

"Sister Shenhe, I'll be going now. I'll come to Aozang Mountain to find you when I'm done with my work."

Looking up at the setting sun, Su Bai silently calculated the time. If he didn't leave soon, he might not have time to find Ningguang at Qunyu Pavilion, and the wanted criminal label that Ying was carrying wouldn't be removed until tomorrow.

"Okay, take these talismans, and be careful."

Shen He took out several talismans she had drawn and handed them to Su Bai. Among these talismans were many high-level ones, some of which Su Bai found difficult to draw.

Su Bai didn't stand on ceremony with Shen He either; there was no need for formalities between them. When Shen He saw that Su Bai had accepted her talisman, her eyes narrowed slightly. Then, taking advantage of Su Bai's inattention, she grabbed Su Bai's fluffy tail.

The stimulation from the tail almost made Su Bai jump up. Seeing Shen He's satisfied look, Su Bai took Ying and ran down the mountain. Damn it, when did Shen He learn to be bad from Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun? He even learned to launch sneak attacks.

In the Jueyun Pavilion, Su Bai was telling Ying and Paimon about the deeds of the Tianquan Star they had seen that day. When Paimon heard that Ningguang's wealth was comparable to that of a country, he almost lost his tax deduction.

"Do you see that small island in the sky? That's where Ningguang lives, also known as the famous Jade Pavilion in Liyue."

“Those who have been invited to the Qunyu Pavilion are all people favored by Ningguang. Therefore, many aristocratic families have specially sent people to keep an eye on the Qunyu Pavilion. As long as someone is invited by Ningguang, these aristocratic families will use some tricks to try to get that person to join their ranks.”

"The ridiculous thing is that they had no idea that it was just a chess piece that Ningguang had inserted."

As he spoke, Su Bai revealed a wicked smile. With these pawns, Ning Guang had collected a lot of evidence of the evil deeds committed by these aristocratic families. In the end, many of these families did not even know who had betrayed them.

"Wow, what an amazing woman! Should we prepare a gift for her when we visit her?"

"If we manage to please that Tianquan star, and she gives us a lot of Mora, should we accept it or refuse?"

"Never mind, Ying, let's go prepare a gift for our meeting!"

As he spoke, Paimon flew to a high place and looked around, trying to see if there was anything good to give away nearby. Ying shook her head, rubbing her forehead. Paimon was still too naive. If he just gave some random things to that Tianquan Star, how could that Tianquan Star possibly give them Mora?

"Yesterday, while I was sleeping, I dreamed of an incredibly precious dessert—iced slime."

"I've made up my mind! We'll send Tianquan Star a sugar slime. A tycoon like Ningguang will definitely love it."

Paimon, hands on her hips, proudly decided on the gift: sugar slime? Hearing Paimon say it was the dessert she dreamed about, Su Bai also had some expectations for this dessert. Perhaps Paimon was always lacking in other aspects, but when it came to eating, she could be called an expert.

"Paimon, the telecommunications company in your dream didn't have any recipes at all. How am I supposed to do this?"

"Just do it with the 'crackling' feeling. Hurry up and collect the materials. I feel that wealth and glory are waiting for us."

Seeing Paimon lost in his fantasy, Ying was at a loss for words. Su Bai could only shrug and say that he didn't know either. If he asked her to eat, he might be able to offer some advice. If he asked her to cook, he would just cast an illusion on Ying. After all, in the world of illusion, even eating steamed buns could feel like eating delicacies.

Despite Ying's pitiful little eyes, Su Bai still used his fairy power to help them find a slime with abundant water element. This slime was even bigger than a regular large slime, and the slime gel it dropped was the best raw material for making royal icing slime.

"Then we just need to find a few more sweetflowers. Su Bai, do you know where I can find some really good sweetflowers?"

"Aren't sweetflowers everywhere? Why are you looking for a particularly good kind of sweetflower, Paimon?"

"This dish is related to whether we will live a life of wealth and prosperity in the future, how could we not care about it?"

Su Bai's fox ears twitched. He wasn't in the mood to complain about Paimon's words. If he wasn't mistaken, there seemed to be cries for help coming from nearby, and there also seemed to be a sweet smell in the air. If he gave it to Sister Gan Yu, she would probably be very happy.

Pushing aside the bushes obstructing their view, the two indeed found a poor soul locked in a cage at a campsite. Nearby, several members of a treasure-hunting gang were looking around, seemingly searching for something.

Adhering to the principle of helping those in need, Ying rushed forward with her sword and quickly drove away the group of treasure thieves.

Paimon then released the unfortunate fellow from the cage and found out that he had been imprisoned because he and the Treasure Raiders had damaged the same ruin. Su Bai didn't ask any more questions. There are many undiscovered ruins in Liyue, and there are quite a few people who explore ruins under the guise of archaeology.

"Thank you for saving me, sir and this immortal. Otherwise, I would be rotting in prison, with those treasure-hunting gangs pruning those sweet flowers when they're in a good mood, and punishing me when they're in a bad mood..."

Faced with the unfortunate fellow's gratitude, Paimon's face lit up with anticipation. However, this little foodie still had some principles and did not directly ask the unfortunate fellow for anything in return. Instead, he spoke in a serious tone.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, please don't thank us too much."

This unlucky fellow was quick to respond. Upon hearing Paimon's words, he immediately gave Paimon the several pots of incredibly lush and blooming sweet flowers. After Paimon's repeated 'refusals,' the unlucky fellow shoved all the pots of sweet flowers into Paimon and Ying's hands.

This unlucky guy also recommended the store "Mingxingzhai" to everyone. He revealed that Mingxingzhai has a very beautiful box, and anyone who uses that box to hold a gift will be impressed.

And this unlucky guy proudly said that if you mention his name at Mingxingzhai, the owner, Xingxi, will definitely give you a discount.

Chapter 142 Visiting Ningguang

"Hmm~, this sugar slime seems a bit too sweet... The crackling texture has a slightly bitter taste, it's not very tasty. Paimon, you try it."

Su Bai put down the sugar slime that made a crackling sound. He now regretted saying he would take Ying and Paimon to the Jade Pavilion to see Ningguang.

These two guys were determined to make the most delicious sugar slime for their illusory dream of getting rich, and Su Bai, who had nothing better to do, became the best candidate to taste this delicacy.

After experiencing this bizarre slime dish more than a dozen times, Su Bai finally broke down and ran away from home—he couldn't take it anymore! Even an immortal couldn't stand eating all sorts of strange sweet flavors more than a dozen times. If he had a choice, he would rather eat Xiang Ling's refreshing stir-fried slime than eat this sugar-coated slime again.

"So, Su Bai, do you think one of these dishes would taste better?"

"Pah, pah, pah, why is this so bitter?"

Paimon took a bite of the freshly made sugar slime, but the overly sweet taste made her spit it out immediately. Su Bai also couldn't hold back at this moment, her face contorted with bitterness, showing that she was indeed suffering quite a bit from the bitterness.

Ying glanced at the sugar slime in her hand, then silently tossed it aside. Although she had great confidence in her skills, she wasn't stupid.

"Just prepare a few of the best pieces. Ningguang probably doesn't like things that are too sweet. Although the ingredients in the food she eats are all high-end, the way they're prepared really doesn't interest me."

Su Bai picked out a few pieces of not-too-sweet-looking sugar slime from a pile and put them in a box. As a dignified immortal, Ningguang always gave him gifts when he went to Qunyu Pavilion. He never expected that he would have to prepare a gift for Ningguang today. It was truly unbelievable.

In the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang and her three secretaries were processing various intelligence reports. The unexpected incident during the Summoning Ceremony had caused all sorts of strange and monstrous figures to emerge in Liyue Harbor, which greatly increased Ningguang's murderous intent, who was already somewhat irritable.

"Lady Ningguang, there are several merchants who are currently inciting food suppliers in Liyue Harbor to raise food prices. Here is the list."

Bai Shi pulled out a piece of paper from a pile of intelligence and respectfully handed it to Ning Guang. Ning Guang glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and then put the paper aside.

"Let the people on paper go bankrupt."

"Financial suppliers who haven't submitted this intelligence, have our people replace them."

Ningguang's tone was as if she were giving a trivial instruction, but the content of her words sent chills down one's spine. This was the power of Tianquan, the leader of the Seven Stars of Liyue. Her words were enough to determine the fate of countless people for the rest of their lives.

Bai Shi bent down and began to write down Ning Guang's instructions. As Ning Guang's secretary, she knew that 90% of the food suppliers in Liyue Harbor were Ning Guang's subordinates. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for someone who did not report in time not to have ulterior motives.

As Ningguang reviewed more and more intelligence, the cold light in her eyes became increasingly apparent, which made her three secretaries feel more and more pressured. In all the years they had been by Ningguang's side, this was the first time they had ever seen her in such a state.

The three secretaries exchanged glances and decisively chose to temporarily lose their sight. In addition to being loyal, anyone chosen by Ningguang to be her secretary must also be intelligent.

Although they knew that Lady Ningguang wouldn't vent her anger on them, Bai Shi and the others chose to remain silent, as they dared not provoke Lady Ningguang.

"Lord Ningguang, according to our scouts, Immortal Su Bai may come to visit. Do you wish to see him tonight?"

"Oh? Su Bai? It seems that the traveler holds a high place in his heart, for he would personally come to visit for such a small matter."
